To get a softer consistency, put the mixture in the freezer for 20 minutes and then whip it. I have been making and using a similar recipe for years and will NOT go back to to store bought antiperspirant! I'm a somewhat new subscriber and am loving your content. I read a mean, snarky comment from one of your subscribers and you handled it with such grace and dignity. It warmed my heart.
I love your homestead name. I homeschool 5 kids and we are Happy Hill Homestead, because my husbands grandma picked blueberries on this land when she was little and it made her happy so she called it Happy Hill.
Ali! I swear you and I would be great friends!! You crack me up! I have to pause your videos to LOL! Like you and your rants, I talk to the screen as if you can hear me! Yet another awesome video!! Thank you!!! 🥰
I'm going to try this one but I'll use bentonite clay instead of diatomaceous earth. I already have that in my bathroom. This has got to be cheaper than buying Lume. That stuff is outrageous!
A couple weeks ago a doctor popped up on my feed for keeping the stink away in the heat. She advised showering, then cleaning the pits with rubbing alcohol, then applying deodorant. I'm like Allie, sensitive pits. So I tried using my homemade floral vinegar instead. Works like a dream.
I have fibromyalgia and have started making my own body care items. I don’t know that it makes a big difference but I figured my body is already reactive so it wouldn’t hurt to cut out excess chemicals going on my skin. Can’t wait to try some of your scent combinations
I have fibromyalgia and RA. I’ve been still using regular antiperspirant, but I will definitely stop and make this! Thank you for mentioning the chemicals. I had not really thought about that.
This may have already been answered, but the yogurt brand is "OUI!" is pronounced "WE". It is French for "YES!". I LOVE this video (okay, not gonna lie, I love all of your videos, lol!). I used to make soap, bath bombs, salves, candles and a lip balm that is out of this world, I stopped a few years ago. However, this brought back some incredible memories and I am totally going to try this. I love making things like this. Thank you so much, I always learn new things and you are wonderfully entertaining. Thank you! ❤
I am super excited for this series. I absolutely love you and your husband y’all make me and my husband laugh. (I think we secretly know y’all act like we do lol) in my deoderant it’s all the same as yours minus the diatomaceous earth (I didn’t think of that addition) and add in magnesium oil (I make my own) helps detox rid stink and we all can use magnesium and also betonite clay (detox properties) hope that helps someone much love and blessings.
Yay! Im so excited to try this. I never thought of using diatomaceous earth. I've been looking for a new recipe. I used to make my own body products and have stopped. Thanks for sharing and renewing my interest in homemade body products. A couple notes for other viewers that might be helpful, essential oils should be used with caution around pets and kids and candellila wax is an excellent alternative for beeswax, you just need to use about half the amount of beeswax as its a denser wax. Thanks again, can't wait to try this.
I just love your channel. I have ALS and I am learning to go all natural things and clean eating. Your page has been so helpful you have no idea. I have a recipe for bug spray.
We have used this before as well instead of the DE. I actually did a full water filtration project in college using colloidal silver brush on pottery and it would filter the water as it ran through the clay and silver. It was amazing and we ended up sending them to another country who didn’t have clean water.
Colloidal copper works great on the skin for rashes, skin cancers, acne. We use both colloidal silver and colloidal copper on ourselves and all animals on our farm. We use food grade DE also. Nothing else.
A few months ago, I bought the big brand name all over body deodorant. It worked but ewwww, until the smell dissipated, it smelled worse than any body odor. Threw it out. Now, i cannot wait to whip up a batch of this all over body deodorants! Thank you, Ali!
I had the same problem with that brand! I had bought a few, too, so I just gave away the ones I hadn't tried yet. I was so surprised that it made me smell WORSE.
I am going to try this one. I had tried making my own and had not found one I did not break out from. I started buying natural deodorant from Wild, which I like but it is still expensive. So i am going to give this one a go! - OUI is Wee which is French for Yes ;)
THANK YOU! I have tried most of the "natural" deodorants and none of them, even the very pricey one that starts with L___ quite cut it for my 58 yr. old pits. I tried a homemade one that used baking soda and that was a NO go! I think this one might be the one! Have I mentioned how much I LOVE your videos??? Going to enjoy this series so much, thanks for all you do 👍👍👍
Give it a go. I think you will like it. I got tired of paying $15 for the one I was using. It did take a few weeks for my body to detox and love it but now it’s awesome. I use to keep a little container at work for touch ups on really sweaty days. I guess no natural one is perfect but we think this one is close. ❤️
Love this! Gonna to give it a try! I make a similar diy deodorant and buy wide sized deodorant containers from amazon. You know the twist on the bottom kind? Then you just apply as a regular deodorant stick.
LOL! You definitely made this video really great, you sure made me laugh! Thanks for all the great information on each ingredient...I will now go and watch all the other videos. Keep on making all this awesome content❤🙏
I’m really wanting to try this as many more you showed! I have to work on getting the ingredients. I’m on a strict budget lol as many more people. Ty for sharing
I enjoy your videos. I use essential oils and have quite a collection... the acrylic lipstick holders are great but do be aware Essential oils and fragrances will begin to break down the plasic. .. i use wood boxes with round top lable to know what each oil is..best wishes
Hi!! I just love your energy, thank you! I just made your laundry detergent and I love it! This is next on my list, I just have to gather all the things I need. Xoxo
Ty so much for the video! I really want to make this!!! But It will take me a while to get all the ingredients… I’m on a limited budget! Who isn’t right?? Great video!! Cannot wait for day 2 !!
I hear you! Finances for everyone are tight right now. I’ve stocked up my natural ingredients over years not weeks so please don’t feel a pressure to run and get stuff.
Good morning! Thank you for sharing!!! I need to make this !!! I have a few kiddos 👦 who have issues with store bought deodorant…. And they have try almost everything out there …. The cost of them are outrageous too !!! I’m excited to make this and have them try it !!!! Thank you again!!!
This looks pretty interesting, and I'll definitely try it when my current supply runs out. Careful with peppermint, though, if you use this product in your "nether regions". Tissue there is very sensitive, and peppermint stings. I love citrus, too, but will probably try Chanel No. 5 in my next batch of deodorant and bath powder.
A lot of times thrift stores have oui jars…..I ordered some of the bamboo lids from Amazon after a friend gave me some of the jars…..they’re great….awesome for handmade gifts!
I'm so glad that you don't use baking soda in your formula...it literally burns red patches on my skin! Does the tea tree scent come through very strong, or do the other EO's help to mask it? Also, if the budget allows, Amazon sells empty twist up deodorant containers that you just fill...might be more convenient than a jar? And one more question...do the oils in your deo leave stains on your clothing? P.S. LOVED the Mutant Ninja Turtle mask at the end! It took me by surprise and made me laugh! Another great video!
Baking soda does the exact same thing to me, it’s awful! You cannot smell the tea tree really once you add other EO. I promise. I did try pouring it into an old deodorant tube and it’s a little too soft. If I added more beeswax I bet it would do great! It hasn’t left anything on my clothes but I put it on, run around my room getting ready and let it absorb before I put my clothes on. You can feel it change once it is absorbed.
Hey Ali! I’m loving this series and so happy you’re presenting it to us. I love your channel, btw. The correct pronunciation of ‘OUI’ IS WE. It’s French for Yes. Thanks so much for this series. I’m looking forward to the rest.
My DIY Deoderant: In a roller ball bottle, add 20 drops essential oils (mix & match your favorite scents); then fill the rest of the bottle with Milk of Magnesia (Original - NOT FLAVORED). Shake Shake Shake & ready to use. NOTE: Inactive Ingredient should only be "Purified Water".
I would love to try this but i sweat so bad and i dont like body order..im weird what can i say lol..looks really nice and creamy..thanku..have a wonderful day ❤️
Hi Ali. Thanks for all the time you put into these videos. I LOVE watching you and your husband. You make so many informative videos, and you make them fun and funny. I love your sense of humor! I made the pits and bits deodorant and love it! My oldest son gets rashes from most deodorant, but he so far likes this one. I look forward to all the upcoming videos and am watching older ones that i haven't seen. Have a blessed day! ❤❤😊
I can't wait to try this! How long did it take you to use that huge bag of D.E.?! Only time I've ever seen DE used was in a pool filter lol I assume you use the food grade for more than pits-n-bits?
I'm catching up on videos I missed and this one is a keeper!! I can't wait to make this stuff And I read so many good ideas in the comments. Ali, I almost spit out my tea while watching this when you suddenly came on with the mask! You crack me up! You have a fun personality. Wish you were my neighbor. Am I spelling your name correctly?
I love your stove! I have an old O’ Keefe & Merritt and I adore her. I always tell my daughter that I want to be buried with her 😂 She said no… They can be frustrating at times though for sure! Thanks for sharing this!
I make my deodorant and it is about like yours! I do use the 92 degree coconut oil because it is a little firmer and doesn’t leave quite the oily feel. I’ve never added the “dimacious earth”? I’ve never heard of it, so now you have me on a mission!😂
You are hilarious!😂 I know I’ve said this before, I’m loving your content. Is there a printable version of your recipes? This will make a wonderful gift, Pits & Bits 😂love it!!
Thank you!!! I need to work on a blog for exactly this reason but I haven’t attempted it yet. Once I get some free time or a manager I’ll be making things more easy to print. For now the info is in the description and you can behold school and write it down or just take a screenshot on your phone. I promise we have thoughts to remedy this ❤️
Hey! Awesome video. Thank you so much for sharing why each product is in there. Quick question: What could be used instead of the tea tree oil? It gives me the worst case of eczema ever. I don’t enjoy eczema so I’d rather avoid tea tree oil. Thank you so much for all you do and your lovely funny personality.
@Little hill homestead- can I use lime or lemon in mine as well ? I use lime almost daily by itself but my skin is very sensitive so after a day or two it starts to burn so I skip days because I barely go out anyway so I’m not bothered by it . I’m just wondering is the lime is mixed with other stuff maybe it won’t burn my skin . 🤷♀️
I've been using Lume for a few years now, and I hated the thought of throwing away the containers they come in, so I've saved many of them. (I also hate the price.) I'm wondering if I would be able to pour this "pits and bits" into those containers, to be able to use them and not have to use my fingers to apply? Might have to try it and see.
I’ve never actually used the container so I’m not positive. Let me know if you try and it works. You may been to add a touch more beeswax to make it firmer if it like a traditional twist up container.
Love your videos ❤ I have been looking for baking soda free deodorant. I have been looking at farmers markets all summer with no luck. Now I can make my own, thank you so much!! Funny story I had aphids on my roses, my girlfriend told me to buy Diatomaceous Earth (I have the same bag you have). My husband started hosing them down which took care of the problem. Now I have this bag of stuff I really don't know what it is or what to do with it, now I do!!! One less thing to buy. What else can I do with this stuff?
If you ever go camping out it around your tent or table and ants won’t cross it. You can use it in food buckets to keep pests away like I use bay leaves. It absorbs smell so you can throw a little in trash cans. Hmm, I wonder if you added essential oil to it if you could use it as a room deodorizer? I’ll have to try that.
I have watched lots of your videos and enjoy the make your own idea. On one video (or maybe on many) you said if we have a question, to ask...I am making apple sauce and to keep it a bit thicker without adding anything. I drain the cooked apples a bit before smushing them. I now have a couple of quarts of the "juice" and am wondering what to do with it. It is sort of thick so not suitable as ordinary juice as is...any ideas?
Lume creator talks about the proper pH being the key. Are any of these ingredients the acid level of our skin to creat proper pH? Just looked...adding 5% mandelic acid make it pH balanced! :)
I wonder if you could use Twist-Up Plastic Tubes Containers in place of the jars? As soft as the product was this may or may not work for the tube containers.
What can I use in place of tea tree oil? I am allergic to i…it gives me migraines. Please and thank you. I have recently found your channel and am making life changes and you are amazing.
For Lady's only, enter at your own risk! Rof 🤣🤣 You crack me up, I was laughing my butt off! I do believe you blushed a little bit!! Let's be real winter gets here I almost stop shaving, I do always make sure I shave my pits though. I think you are a little bit (maybe more) younger then me. I am 55 yrs, here is one thing you get to look forward to when you hit menopause and or get around my age. The hair you have to shave slows down growing till it pretty much stops growing. But there is 1 kicker , the hair on the back of my legs don't really grow anymore, but it does on the front of my legs. A friend of ours asked my Granny years ago, before she passed if at her age you still had hair everywhere , lol My Granny was very well mannered and always watched her p's and q's so she replied , " Well Lady's when you was born you came into this world bald and when you leave this world , you will leave bald!" I know this is was a TMI comment, but it's still a cute story. I am much like my Granny in some ways, but I did not get her sweet mouth lol. I am as blunt and honest as they come and they stuff that can roll out of my mouth as often shocked myself. lol It is just out there before I can stop it and by the time I realize what I have said, I need a crowbar to get my foot out of my mouth. lol My friends and family know if they don't really want to hear a truthful answer about question , they don't ask me!! lol I have learned to tame my tongue some what, since I had a Barber Shop for 20 years. Yes ma'am my mouth gets me in more trouble, I try to walk away lol ! I'm gonna finish the video now. Thanks for the laugh, I had a rough and stressful day. I don't comment a whole lot because I am usually watching on my tv, I have to get on my desk top. I hate getting on youtube with my phone or tablet , I never get where I want to be. Have a good night! 😀
You and I would be a deadly combo! You sound amazing 😂 I can’t wait until I get to stop shaving but with my luck I won’t be that person. You made my morning. Thank you!!!
@@LittleHillHomesteadGa Omg you are so funny, yes ma'am we would be a deadly combo. I am pretty sure you are probably as blunt as I am or close to it. lol I have the same problem, I speak and then try have to cover what I accidently said. lol So yesterday, my sister calls me, my Mother fell again for the 3rd time in the last few weeks. She is an accident waiting to happen, she has always been that way my whole life. But she is 80 now and not as funny, but yesterday it was. There is a place in her floor that a man needs to fix but doesn't have time (he doesn't live there). that is what she keeps tripping on. I found that out when my sister called. Instead of calling 911 , they call me.. SNH I am 20 minutes from her house. She is stubborn is all I can say. So I get over there and my 80 year Mother fell into the cat litter box and she is just sitting there like it's another day... She looked pretty comfy lol .. I asked Angela my sister , you take pictures?? bah bah , she said no, I said well go get your camera lol she's been sitting there 30 minutes in the litter box 3 mores aint going to hurt anything!! lol SO we took pictures!! Before I said that, I made sure she was not hurt in anyway. LOL She would kill me if she knew I was blasting this all over the internet lol. We got her cleaned up and in bed and then I fixed the floor! lol I guess for all the laughing I did when I saw Mother in that litter box, she ran my butt off, fixing stuff and getting stuff. I really need that Pits and bits yesterday! lol I keep telling them I am not a man!! lol Have a great day!!🤣🤣
When I shower, I wash in those areas with extra-strong antibacterial soap (Hibiclens). It kills all bacteria. I've always used antiperspirant because sweating makes my pits red/raw when the skin rubs together. I use Arrowroot powder under my breasts. I'll have to make a small batch of this deodorant and see how it goes. I think I have most of the ingredients already. I'm concerned about the oiliness of this cream staining my clothes, especially underarm area.
It’s very hard since you need to figure out what the trigger is. For me it is dish soap, things with sls and if I mix food with salt in it with my hands. Keep the area moist with lotions and shea butter has been a game changer for me. I’m sorry she struggles with it.
Wherever I can at a moments notice. I get it from Amazon mostly but in the ethnic section at most Walmart and Grocery stores they often have it and at a great price
@@LittleHillHomesteadGa thank definitely making this for myself & my son but also for Christmas gifts I love homemade things & your recipes are amazing I did the vanilla extract can’t wait to use it for Thanksgiving & Christmas 🥰
@deemartinez519 Candellila wax is much firmer than beeswax so you won't want to use as much or it will be much harder. Using half as much as beeswax is usually recommended but you'll have to experiment to find the texture that works for you.
To get a softer consistency, put the mixture in the freezer for 20 minutes and then whip it. I have been making and using a similar recipe for years and will NOT go back to to store bought antiperspirant! I'm a somewhat new subscriber and am loving your content. I read a mean, snarky comment from one of your subscribers and you handled it with such grace and dignity. It warmed my heart.
Thank you! Sometimes it is so hard to be nice. 😊 we’re making a whipped honey and tallow soon that we do what you are describing with.
@@LittleHillHomesteadGa Yay!! I’m making tallow next week!! Can’t wait. And, I love your channel. I watch you almost everyday!
I love your homestead name. I homeschool 5 kids and we are Happy Hill Homestead, because my husbands grandma picked blueberries on this land when she was little and it made her happy so she called it Happy Hill.
I absolutely love your story! We just happen to live on a small hill. My kids picked it out of a zillion names and it stuck.
Ali! I swear you and I would be great friends!! You crack me up! I have to pause your videos to LOL! Like you and your rants, I talk to the screen as if you can hear me! Yet another awesome video!! Thank you!!! 🥰
I love this!!! Pretend I’m talking back. ❤️
I'm going to try this one but I'll use bentonite clay instead of diatomaceous earth. I already have that in my bathroom. This has got to be cheaper than buying Lume. That stuff is outrageous!
I'm so happy to hear a PG rated explanation about this deodorant instead of how Lume advertises theirs. So gross. 😮
I hear you! We don’t need that much info about it.
Agreed
Those commercials are the WORST 😂
How about those Poopouri commercials?
Those aren't as bad as telling us how badly one may smell when sexually active 😮@JosieStev
A couple weeks ago a doctor popped up on my feed for keeping the stink away in the heat. She advised showering, then cleaning the pits with rubbing alcohol, then applying deodorant. I'm like Allie, sensitive pits. So I tried using my homemade floral vinegar instead. Works like a dream.
Homemade floral vinegar sounds lovely!
Do tell us about this amazing vinegar!!!!
@@longarmsupplies floral vinegar! Amazing. I would love to learn
I use witch hazel and it helps as well.

Colloidal silver works great for deodorant. Ingredients are distilled water and silver.

I bet it is the baking soda. It is so harsh on skin and especially sitting on it like that. I hope you give it a try and they love it.

Tissue there is very sensitive, and peppermint stings. I love citrus, too, but will probably try Chanel No. 5 in my next batch of deodorant and bath powder.
We did make a note about that in the description. Only use externally.
I made this and been using it a week, love it!!
Do you have or can you make a video on hair gel?
I think Azure sells DE. Can't check as their system is down right now. Tractor Supply also sells it, food grade.
Great start to the series! Will be watching for each one as they come out. Woot!
Good morning thank you looking forward to new series.
A lot of times thrift stores have oui jars…..I ordered some of the bamboo lids from Amazon after a friend gave me some of the jars…..they’re great….awesome for handmade gifts!

We use it to keep ants away from our van when we’re camping or other bugs. It still takes forever to get through that bag.

You are hilarious!😂 I know I’ve said this before, I’m loving your content. Is there a printable version of your recipes? This will make a wonderful gift, Pits & Bits 😂love it!!
Thank you!!! I need to work on a blog for exactly this reason but I haven’t attempted it yet. Once I get some free time or a manager I’ll be making things more easy to print. For now the info is in the description and you can behold school and write it down or just take a screenshot on your phone. I promise we have thoughts to remedy this ❤️
Perhaps you could do a "copy and paste" of the written formula she has above.
Love this❤ Thank you 😊
I just found you and LOVE your channel! I feel like we would be friends in real life 😂your personality resonates with me so much
Thank you so much!!
I enjoy your videos. Keeping it real is awesome. I can relate. lol 😂. Your black dog reminds me of my sweet beloved Oreo. I miss my sidekick.
Remi is a handful and always at my feet. She is a fun little girl.
At what point do you add the diatomaceous earth? Did i miss it. Thank you for these wonderful videos
It was in there somewhere. Anytime is fine. It will stir right in.
Hey! Awesome video. Thank you so much for sharing why each product is in there.
Quick question:
What could be used instead of the tea tree oil? It gives me the worst case of eczema ever. I don’t enjoy eczema so I’d rather avoid tea tree oil.
Thank you so much for all you do and your lovely funny personality.
You can leave it out and pick other EO that you know work well with you skin. No big deal!
Frankincense and helichrysum are both EO’s that are good for skin.

I react to Tea Tree as well. Rosemary or Oregano kill germs, but they're strong.. don't use too many drops..😊
Love , love your videos 🎉 keep up the great work
Thank you so much!!
been waiting for this, finally had time to watch, ty for sharing!
Love this!! Thank you for sharing...I have not been able to find one that doesn't dry on & crumble. 😝
It will for sure not do that. It’s like lotion more so. I love it.
CANT WAIT TO TRY THIS 😊 THANK YOU
Oh my goodness! Pits and Bits is how my hubby describes a quick shower.
I learned PTA bath. It is not couth so I just say birdbath when I gotta wash but can't shower (water issues, camping, etc).
@Little hill homestead- can I use lime or lemon in mine as well ? I use lime almost daily by itself but my skin is very sensitive so after a day or two it starts to burn so I skip days because I barely go out anyway so I’m not bothered by it . I’m just wondering is the lime is mixed with other stuff maybe it won’t burn my skin . 🤷♀️
You can!
, I am asking again, I love your apron and would love to purchase a few. Thank you!
This one was from William somoma. I wish I made this one. 😂
I've been using Lume for a few years now, and I hated the thought of throwing away the containers they come in, so I've saved many of them. (I also hate the price.) I'm wondering if I would be able to pour this "pits and bits" into those containers, to be able to use them and not have to use my fingers to apply? Might have to try it and see.
I’ve never actually used the container so I’m not positive. Let me know if you try and it works. You may been to add a touch more beeswax to make it firmer if it like a traditional twist up container.
Love it.. Thank you ❤️
Thank you for sharing. I am going to natural beauty, cleaning, and wellness remedies.
Love your videos ❤
I have been looking for baking soda free deodorant. I have been looking at farmers markets all summer with no luck.
Now I can make my own, thank you so much!!
Funny story
I had aphids on my roses, my girlfriend told me to buy Diatomaceous Earth (I have the same bag you have). My husband started hosing them down which took care of the problem. Now I have this bag of stuff I really don't know what it is or what to do with it, now I do!!! One less thing to buy. What else can I do with this stuff?
If you ever go camping out it around your tent or table and ants won’t cross it. You can use it in food buckets to keep pests away like I use bay leaves. It absorbs smell so you can throw a little in trash cans. Hmm, I wonder if you added essential oil to it if you could use it as a room deodorizer? I’ll have to try that.
I have watched lots of your videos and enjoy the make your own idea. On one video (or maybe on many) you said if we have a question, to ask...I am making apple sauce and to keep it a bit thicker without adding anything. I drain the cooked apples a bit before smushing them. I now have a couple of quarts of the "juice" and am wondering what to do with it. It is sort of thick so not suitable as ordinary juice as is...any ideas?
Add to breads, pancakes, mix with some ginger ale, make a dump cake and just use that instead of fruit, over ice cream! So many ideas
New sub....loving all your videos. Thank you.
Thanks for subbing!
I just made a big batch excited to try it.
Lume creator talks about the proper pH being the key. Are any of these ingredients the acid level of our skin to creat proper pH?
Just looked...adding 5% mandelic acid make it pH balanced! :)
I wonder if you could use Twist-Up Plastic Tubes Containers in place of the jars? As soft as the product was this may or may not work for the tube containers.
You can if you add more beeswax. I’d double it.
Yes, you can buy deodorant tubes, they keep better because you are not contaminating it ingredients with your figures
What can I use in place of tea tree oil? I am allergic to i…it gives me migraines. Please and thank you.
I have recently found your channel and am making life changes and you are amazing.
Peppermint or cedar wood but have the same properties for the most part. Enjoy!
@@LittleHillHomesteadGa thank you
Another great video, thanks.
Great video and idea! I suspect I'm allergic to beeswax, do you have an idea of what I might substitute for that? keep the videos coming!
You can leave it out but the pic would be very creamy. Candelilla wax is a very popular and great alternative.
@@LittleHillHomesteadGa thanks for the info! I look forward to trying this one!
For Lady's only, enter at your own risk! Rof 🤣🤣 You crack me up, I was laughing my butt off! I do believe you blushed a little bit!! Let's be real winter gets here I almost stop shaving, I do always make sure I shave my pits though. I think you are a little bit (maybe more) younger then me. I am 55 yrs, here is one thing you get to look forward to when you hit menopause and or get around my age. The hair you have to shave slows down growing till it pretty much stops growing. But there is 1 kicker , the hair on the back of my legs don't really grow anymore, but it does on the front of my legs. A friend of ours asked my Granny years ago, before she passed if at her age you still had hair everywhere , lol My Granny was very well mannered and always watched her p's and q's so she replied , " Well Lady's when you was born you came into this world bald and when you leave this world , you will leave bald!" I know this is was a TMI comment, but it's still a cute story. I am much like my Granny in some ways, but I did not get her sweet mouth lol. I am as blunt and honest as they come and they stuff that can roll out of my mouth as often shocked myself. lol It is just out there before I can stop it and by the time I realize what I have said, I need a crowbar to get my foot out of my mouth. lol My friends and family know if they don't really want to hear a truthful answer about question , they don't ask me!! lol I have learned to tame my tongue some what, since I had a Barber Shop for 20 years. Yes ma'am my mouth gets me in more trouble, I try to walk away lol ! I'm gonna finish the video now. Thanks for the laugh, I had a rough and stressful day. I don't comment a whole lot because I am usually watching on my tv, I have to get on my desk top. I hate getting on youtube with my phone or tablet , I never get where I want to be. Have a good night! 😀
You and I would be a deadly combo! You sound amazing 😂
I can’t wait until I get to stop shaving but with my luck I won’t be that person.
You made my morning.
Thank you!!!
@@LittleHillHomesteadGa Omg you are so funny, yes ma'am we would be a deadly combo. I am pretty sure you are probably as blunt as I am or close to it. lol I have the same problem, I speak and then try have to cover what I accidently said. lol So yesterday, my sister calls me, my Mother fell again for the 3rd time in the last few weeks. She is an accident waiting to happen, she has always been that way my whole life. But she is 80 now and not as funny, but yesterday it was. There is a place in her floor that a man needs to fix but doesn't have time (he doesn't live there). that is what she keeps tripping on. I found that out when my sister called. Instead of calling 911 , they call me.. SNH I am 20 minutes from her house. She is stubborn is all I can say. So I get over there and my 80 year Mother fell into the cat litter box and she is just sitting there like it's another day... She looked pretty comfy lol .. I asked Angela my sister , you take pictures?? bah bah , she said no, I said well go get your camera lol she's been sitting there 30 minutes in the litter box 3 mores aint going to hurt anything!! lol SO we took pictures!! Before I said that, I made sure she was not hurt in anyway. LOL She would kill me if she knew I was blasting this all over the internet lol. We got her cleaned up and in bed and then I fixed the floor! lol I guess for all the laughing I did when I saw Mother in that litter box, she ran my butt off, fixing stuff and getting stuff. I really need that Pits and bits yesterday! lol I keep telling them I am not a man!! lol Have a great day!!🤣🤣
I alphabetize my essential oil’s too! Doesn’t everybody?😂
I love ❤❤❤❤❤ this .
I like corn starch over my deodorant to make sure it feels dry.
WHAT SHEA BUTTER DO YOU USE AND WHERE DID YOU GET IT? THANK YOU
I get it all kinds of places. This one was from Walmart and was cheap but Amazon has some great options.
@@LittleHillHomesteadGa THANK YOU
When I shower, I wash in those areas with extra-strong antibacterial soap (Hibiclens). It kills all bacteria. I've always used antiperspirant because sweating makes my pits red/raw when the skin rubs together. I use Arrowroot powder under my breasts. I'll have to make a small batch of this deodorant and see how it goes. I think I have most of the ingredients already. I'm concerned about the oiliness of this cream staining my clothes, especially underarm area.
I always let it absorb in before getting dressed. I’ve never had an issue but give it a try.
Why haven't I ever thought of arrowroot powder under my breasts??!! Thanks for that idea
QQQ: why do you use diatomaceous earth? Not familiar with it. Just wondering? 🤔🤔🤔
We have done it without but I have sensitive skin and it helps keep you from getting a rash.
@@LittleHillHomesteadGa thanks for answering my question much appreciated! I’ve never used it so just wondering 💭 about it..thanks again! ❤
Oh yes, quick question, how long does your double batch last? 😊
Months!
My daughter has eczema, could you elaborate on your care method
It’s very hard since you need to figure out what the trigger is. For me it is dish soap, things with sls and if I mix food with salt in it with my hands. Keep the area moist with lotions and shea butter has been a game changer for me. I’m sorry she struggles with it.
Where do you get your shea butter?
Wherever I can at a moments notice. I get it from Amazon mostly but in the ethnic section at most Walmart and Grocery stores they often have it and at a great price
@@LittleHillHomesteadGa thank you
Thank you for this video.
Im going to try making this.
My cars name is pearl. LOL
Great name!
Can bentonite clay be used instead of the diatomaceous earth?
It can!
the OUI yogurt is really good and i believe its pronounced 'WE'
Is the earth food grade thing needed I have none or zinc oxcide
You can leave it out. If you aren’t sensitive to baking soda you can use that in its place
Ok good I did add baking soda 1 tsp for a double batch.
U could use a makeup spatula to apply instead of your fingers
❤
Hahaha you make me laugh!
Love that stove.
Thank you.
I’m allergic to bees, honey & beeswax what can I substitute for it thank you
Candelilla wax is a great option.
@@LittleHillHomesteadGa thank definitely making this for myself & my son but also for Christmas gifts I love homemade things & your recipes are amazing I did the vanilla extract can’t wait to use it for Thanksgiving & Christmas 🥰
@deemartinez519 Candellila wax is much firmer than beeswax so you won't want to use as much or it will be much harder. Using half as much as beeswax is usually recommended but you'll have to experiment to find the texture that works for you.
@@LittleHillHomesteadGathank you
@@christeef6840I appreciate it thank you so much 😊
Another wonderful deodorant…lime.
what is diatomaceous for
Instead of baking soda like most use. You can also use baking soda if you prefer.
Can you put this in an empty deodorant container?
You will need to add way more wax if you want to try that. It is a think texture and won’t work in a tube without it
@ okay thank you! I made your recipe tonight and used a glass container. I’m hoping this can work for me ongoing. Do you still use it regularly?
Castor oil encourages hair growth.. places where you use deodorant would be fine without thicker fur :)
Oui is indeed pronounced wee
Thanks!!!
Does it make your clothes greasy
I let it dry before I put my close on. I haven’t had an issue.
You should use a double boiler to melt your ingredients.
I’ve done both ways and I just remove it from the heat instead and haven’t had an issue.
